Saturday - Checking on Creede Fire

Toni and I drove over to Creede to take a look at the fire situation.  It is still burning but Highway 149 has it stopped for now.  There is a lot of personnel and equipment being used but I think they are mainly trying to contain it via broad open areas and are trying to save homes from burning.

Here are some pictures of the fire fighters headquarters west of Creede.  They have signs out saying "No Stopping" so Toni had to take these while moving and was using the little camera.





 
The military had units posted at many of the side roads to prevent folks from straying.
 


 
 
 
While we were in Creede, it came a nice shower, which cleared a lot of the smoke from the air.  Also, the heavy wind has stopped, which is nice.  The air in the Lake City area has been very nice and we have been getting short showers almost every day now.
